A flock (noun) is a group of birds, animals, or people. When birds, animals, or people flock (verb) together, they get together. They form a group.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Birds often flock with other birds like them.</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">They also fly together, as we see with these geese. Flocks provide safety and support.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Birds of a feather flock together means people stay with people like them.</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">Groups may form based on:</p>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Interests</li>
<li>Beliefs</li>
<li>Looks</li>
<li>Goals</li>
<li>Backgrounds</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: left;">People also form groups for safety and support.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Birds of a feather flock together can be a warning.</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">Adults warn children or youth about certain groups. Young people may see no harm. However, adults fear:</p>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>The groups&#8217; effect on their children</li>
<li>Their children’s reputation when with those groups</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><strong>People can learn from birds of a different feather.</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">To <a href="https://dianaderringer.com/figure-out/">figure out</a> one another, people must spend time together. Friendships with people of another background offer wonderful rewards. These include new:</p>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Knowledge</li>
<li>Food</li>
<li>Music</li>
<li>Language</li>
<li>Activities</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: left;">Sharing another person’s culture offers richness to any life.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Spend time with birds of a feather. Also reach out to birds in other flocks <a href="https://dianaderringer.com/from-here-to-Timbuktu/">from here to Timbuktu</a>. God created a wide, wonderful world. Enjoy all its variety.</p>
